Hi GreatBrit,

I've had to edit post with a link to the gallery. I keep getting 'error on page' when I try to enter an image.

Thanks for that Joe. I had a few problems with the decals as I think the kit had been on the shelf for a long time, and the colours, painted in the US so 'equivalent' colours were used; but IPMS Sweden had an article on US built aircraft in RAF service so that cleared that one up. It looks 'squat' on it's wheels, then I checked some reference pics and realised that Tamiya's undercarriage was in the compressed position!

well im no expert on aircraft modelling, but it looks good to me, i dont think the squat appearence you speak of is noticable either

cheers

Already done with your Overlord 2004? Geez! What are you going to do now? I don't supposed you'll have to buy another model to replace one of dozens already in your collection

Actually Shermie I don't have a stash of models to be done, as I'm out of work at the moment it's pretty much hand-to-mouth where the hobby is concerned.
I wrote a book on small scale military modelling a while ago and it's being sold as a CD on Ebay - if a buyer pays by cheque it goes in the bank, if they pay by paypal I get a model!
